It compiles to a single static binary with no runtime dependencies, it runs anywhere, and its built-in concurrency model is a natural fit for modernising COBOL batch processing into parallel workloads. This guide explains what a COBOL to Go migration actually involves, the approaches available to UK enterprises, what it costs, and the one precision issue you must plan for up front.
